Sort of, it's almost a year since I gave up the day job, always planned to get back to something, part time wern't gonna pay the bills so full time it is.

Me feet ache tonight...

Finally got 'round to bolting a couple of big lumps back on as part of the 954 front end graft.



Okay, okay, I know it's a Teal 'Storm but it's not so much as going quicker (as if that's possible...!), more of not having to slow down in the bends

New tyres for Hamburg...

Erm havent looked TBH Chris. I know they are black & round rubber things...

It's only for the 20 mile a day commute so not really bothered... Think they are Bridgestones.

I understand, you just want something that will do the job on the commuter

Chris.

Getting ready to ride to Plymouth this afternoon to get the Ferry, need to be there about 3pm, then 23 hours down the bay of Biscay to Santander. From there 320 miles to over night stop near Toledo,
Tuesday morning a further 260 miles to a village in the base of the mountains about 35 mins north of Malaga and stay with some friends for a few days before same route back up,
It may be a little boring on Spanish motorways but it’s the quickest way down.. I’ve given myself plenty of time for stops as need to be aware if my limitations these days
The new bike is pretty much run in now (in 3 days with the help of a couple of friends) and it’s really good, will be helpful having cruise control.
Still got lots of bits to sort this morning but getting excited now to get this tick on the list

On Monday when I’m not here my Storm is being collected, sadly it had to go but an old friend has bought it so it’s in good hands..

Yep indeed, they are Bridgestone 023, 20 miles a day, should last a year on the rear, I'd hope 4000mile +...

Fixed a small oil leak on Hamburg...

Swapped the leavers over from std one to cheap shite Chinky short ones.

Dug some bits out for posting on Monday.

Took some pics of Custurd II.

Lunch & MOTO GP for the rest of the afterspoon...
